If they are testing the waters for SF6 then that saddens me. Do we have to have microtransactions and ads and all this grasping bullshit? It's like taxing the fanbase to line the pockets of rich eSports cunts. I'd rather they switched to a subscription model, pay £3.99 a month and get access to everything while your sub is active.

Wasn't Street Fighter x Tekken going to be F2P? But Capcom got cold feet and that's where the shitty gems came from.
But yeah, this is just another terrible decision in a long line of terrible decisions. I hear the loading screen takes longer with ads on, is that right?

Confession: I've never finished a Souls game I like them but I always end up getting frustrated and moving on to something else. But I couldn't resist Remastered for the Switch and I'm currently having fun playing through with a Cleric Knight.
I'm also kind of stuck now. The Hydra was easy but Sif battered me. Been haning out in the Catacombs but think I'll go back and give Sif another go as I'm fed up getting done over by the Titanite Demon and I'm too scared to head into the Tomb of the Giants. Sure it's been said a million times before but the toughest enemies for me are the environment + camera.

Had some fun on Third Strike night before last, playing arcade with frequent challengers. Had one series of games where I was totally locked down, I mean I could hardly get a hit in. I thought my rematch requests would be refused, cos obviously mismatched folk often won't stick around but they did and continued to school me - it was brutal but beautiful. Nice thing was they gave me a friendly reply when I messaged them and accepted my friend request. So, yay FGC.
Would like to try getting into a lobby again as I haven't since the patch.

I'm ready to play this again. Haven't played it since before the last big update so I've never seen base building or freighters or all that stuff. Cannae wait. How can I hang out in an rllmuk system? Do you pick a location and everyone heads there or what? PS4 innit.

I set up port-forwarding afterwards, cos I hadn't updated it on my router since swapping my PS4 for a Pro. Might help! Will try again tonight.
I was bricking it that I'd have to play SSF2T in that lobby :-) was almost a relief not to get a game.

Aww! I was on but didn’t see your reply till later. Will be on for a bit tonight. Anyone who’s not already got me, please add me on PS4 and Switch. Sounds like SFV is getting some love but I’m smitten with Third Strike again.
